MamasLT,

Thank you for the kind words!

Unfortunately, as of right now there is no way to edit the blog page if it is set as “your latest posts.” This is because video background uses get_post_meta() to get the information from the page or post. Since it is set to “your latest posts” it does not have a page or post ID to pull that information from.

I do have some things in the works though that may support this in the future. I will keep in touch if this feature is supported!

Have a great day.

Hi kittykata,

I wanted to let you know that version 2.3.0 is now out and now you can have a fullscreen background by simply inputing “body” in the container field (without quotes).

Have a great day!

Thank you very much for your reply gerital and thanks for using the plugin!

Have a great day.

Hi kittykata,

I see you found the solution. As of right now, the best solution is the add the following to your css stylesheet:

.vidbg-container {
  position: fixed!important;
}

However, I should be pushing out an update within the next week to automatically resolve this when setting “body” as the container. I Will get in touch then to let you know of the update!

Thanks for using the plugin!

Hi Gerital,

Thank you for pointing that out. Can you please let us know what theme you were using for future reference?

Thanks for using the pluign!

Hi poco06,

I’m sorry I’m just getting back to you now, I just saw your question.

Although the shortcode function for v1.0 is depreciated it still works and if you have to resort to it, you will be able to. To add a video background via shortcode use the shortcode below. The fields are the same as the metabox in the current version.

[vidbg container="" mp4="" webm="" poster=""]

Please let me know if this helps you!

Hi infinisistemas,

Please let me know if you solved this issue or still need assistance.

Thanks!

Thanks for using the plugin! I’m glad you like it.
I see the issue is fixed, please let me know if you have any other questions.

Have a good night!

This topic was resolved over email.

Hi infinisistemas,

I’d love to help you with this issue, but it’s kind of difficult to troubleshoot without the URL. Would you be willing to provide the URL?

If you would like to continue this conversation in private, you can email me at [email protected]

Hope to hear from you soon!

Hi Patbhakta,
In order to keep the plugin simple, there is only 2 fields available for a video; for mp4 and webm. However, if you wanted to have a video with multiple clips like I do on my demo site (https://blake.vegas/plugins/video-background/) you could use a type of editing software like Windows Movie Maker or iMovie for Mac to combine the clips and save it as one file.
I hope this helps! Have a great day.
